Pulitzer Prize–winning author and photojournalist Paul Watson sheds light on a story intricately linked with the broken mast in the DMA’s signature painting The Icebergs by Frederic Edwin Church. Ice Ghosts weaves together the epic story of the Lost Franklin Expedition of 1845—whose two ships and crew of 129 were lost to the Arctic ice—with the modern tale of the scientists, divers, and local Inuit behind the incredible discovery of the flagship’s wreck in 2014.
6:15 and 6:45 p.m.: Join Sue Canterbury, The Pauline Gill Sullivan Associate Curator of American Art, for a talk in the galleries focused on Church’s The Icebergs. Space is limited.
